Sword and Bored

Episode 24: Every Scene Tests the Tensile Strength of that Outfit

Hello again!  We're here talking about THE OLD GUARD and how we want Charlize Theron to have a long career, the abysmal AMAZONS and how we love and hate Roger Corman, Halloweens past and how it had better sound, FIRE AND ICE and adult cartoons looking the same, and the awkwardness of movies with families!  Hope you enjoy!

Episode 23: THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE

On this episode we are joined once again by our dad Bill Farabee!  We talk about animals in the wild, how pretty okay BULLETPROOF MONK is, how godawful AGAINST THE DARK is and the power of spite, and how utterly, utterly astounding HIGHLANDER continues to be!

Episode 22: Timecop Has Better Time Travel Rules Than This!

The funeral march of 2020 continues!  THE LAST WITCH HUNTER kind of rules and we love it!  We talk about the police protests and how we grew up and our own experiences related to that!  How LANCELOT: GUARDIAN OF TIME is just the most boring thing possible and terrible hair!  

Episode 21: If Christopher Nolan Can Suplex a Truck, I Should Be Able To Get More Stop Motion Dragons

Kids Running!  Quarantine Stories!  ALICE IN WONDERLAND's mediocrity!  THE BLACK CAULDRON and the path of Disney!  Discussion of Music and Emotion in Fantasy!  WILLOW's utter charm!  Check us out!

Episode 20: This Movie Was For a Very Specific Audience...But I Don't Know Who That Is

Our 20th Episode!  Lars opens so many bags of chips!  We talk about the unearned emotions of ONWARD, boredom of quarantine since we're all experiencing that in some form, how LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN is kind of okay, and how BABES WITH BLADES is a very strange piece that doesn't make sense in a lot of ways! 

Episode 19: The Quarantine Blues LIVE

On this very special LIVE episode, live because children run back and forth and we only use minimal edits, Lars and I talk about life under Coronavirus, how ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES was a staple of our childhood, Lars steals a Bill Murray speech, how FROZEN 2 was a better sequel than we ever got, the strange things that we've been going through not going anywhere, and how THE ADVENTURER: CURSE OF THE MIDAS BOX was a very weird movie.  Hope you folks stick around, we're not going anywhere for a while.

Episode 18: Does Liam Neeson Have 7 Flamethrowers?

A Year of Sword and Bored!  Thanks for all of the listens.  On this episode, we talk about how weird and delightful THE FIFTH ELEMENT is, poorly hum the music from a lot of these movies, how KRULL is immensely buoyed by Richard Horner's score, set dressing and dreamy design, how DEATHSTALKER AND THE WARRIORS FROM HELL is just atrocious, and how we're glad to be able to do this with each other for all of you!

Episode 17: Grandpa's Frozen in a Tuffshed 3: A Pixar B-Side

On this episode, we're joined by Lars' Friend Rex, we talk about the Pretty good BRAVE, I regale with tales of the craziest festival I've ever heard of, how CAST A DEADLY SPELL is a great idea hampered by execution, Eleanor runs through the recording booth multiple times, how THE WIZARDS OF LOST KINGDOM is a big ol' pile of nuthin', how Roger Corman is one of the most infuriating characters in film!  #swordandbored

Episode 16: Uggh: The Last Airbender

On this episode, we talk about how THE LAST AIRBENDER is a hot pile of bleh, we talk about how the show was so much better, bad acting, the problem with Adaptations that don't...adapt, and moving cross country!

Episode 15: The Death Throws Of The Holidays Because 2019 Lasted For 30 Years

We are back from our Holiday Hiatus with three themed movies this time.  We talk about the pretty okay KNIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, comment about moving and why time moves weirdly, the godawful NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS, swords in ponds and pitch our own Hallmark movies, and the utterly, astoundingly wonderful KLAUS!
